This recipe was very kindly sent to me by Amanda @chocfishmerino, who if you don’t know make some fantasic Merino wool stuff like tops and hats for hiking. I’m really into lamb at the moment so I will most certainly be trying it when I get chance. I love the way the recipe uses home […]

Regular readers will know that a combo of Mr Vikkis and Ye Olde Friars sent me a couple of packages of hot Cumbrian goodies including the green chilli jam (thoughts on all will be coming soon). The package also included Mr Vikkis, Harry’s Smokin’ Ranch Sauce, a sweet and smokey BBQ sauce that uses the […]

A while back i received the following video in my inbox, and i’m really sorry i forgot about it, strange because I actually made the eggs and they were really tasty. The recipe is part of a campaign to promote eggs and give people quick and easy recipes, from everything to poaching eggs to creating […]

A couple of weeks ago Friars of Keswick who very kindly sent me some chilli fudge and chilli jellies before sent me a few more of the yummy chilli products that they stock. This time it was a range of spicy delights from Cumbrian based Mr Vikki’s. The first of which is Mr Vikki’s Green Chilli Jam […]
